EARLY HISTORY OF GREENFIELD. 



BY HON. FRANCIS M. THOMPSON, HISTORIAN OF GREENFIELD. 
Between 1630 and 1640, more than 20.000 settlers had yalhered about the shores of Massachu- 
setts Bay. In 1635 a few daring- people had .settled upon the lower Connecticut river and the rich- 
ness and beauty of the river bottoms soon attracted many people searching for homes. Spring- 
field was settled in 1635. .Settlements at Northampton, Hadley and Hatfield soon followed and by 
1662 the population had become sufficient for the organiz.ation of Hampshire County. Deerfield 
was purchased from the Pocumptuck Indians in 1667, and in i66g Samuel Hinsdale had built on 
the rich meadow his log cabin and plowed his field. Greenfield, Conway, Shelburne and Gill were 
originally a part of Deerfield. 

The first settler of Greenfield, or that portion of Deerfield now Greenfield, was Joshua Pumry. 
His grant, made in 1686, included land in Cheapside, where now stand the office and car barn of 
the Greenfield and Turners Falls street raUway company and the Greenfield, Deerfield and North- 
ampton street railway companv. 

ilr. Pumry's grant ran west to Green river and north to the little brook just north of the lower 
bridge over Green river. His house was standing on it when the grant was made. Quite a num- 
ber of settlers had taken up land before the breaking out of Father Rasle's war in 1722, but all 
were forced to flee to the protection of the Deerfield forts.

EARLN HISTORY— Continufd. 

Within the territory which became Greenfield, occurred the fight of May 19, 1776, between 141 
men, under Captains William Turner and vSamuel Holyoke, and a large body of hostile Indians 
gathered at Peskeompscut (now Turners Falls). The Indians were surprised while sleeping in 
their huts, and nearly or quite 300 were slain or drowned in passing over the falls. 

Some white prisoners who escaped to their friends, circulated the story that King Philip and a 
thousand warriors were in close pursuit of the retiring soldiers. A sharp attack upon the rear of 
the column giving evidence of the truth of the report, a sudden fright arose and the retreat be 
came a running fight, Capt. Turner receiving his death wound as he forded Crreen river at the 
mouth of Mill brook. ' The English were followed in their retreat as far as the ruins of Deerfield 
village, and lost in killed and prisoners 39 men. Evidences were found that several of the cap- 
tured were burned at the stake, north of the swamp near Four Corners. The wonderful escapes of 
young Jonathan Wells and Rev. Hope Atherton, from the perils which surrounded them, are 
vivid reminders of the dangers besetting the frontier settlers in the early times. 

In 16S6, the present Main street was fixed upon for the Green river village, although the plan 
was not put upon record until 1749. Twenty -Home Lots" of eight acres each were laid out to 
persons who would agree to live in town for three years and pay taxes thereon. Twenty acres of 
farm land was assigned with each home lot. 

In 1714, the Crreen river grist mill was built by Capt. Jonathan Wells, and a mill has been sus. 
tained there ever since. About 17 iS the meadow lands lying on the west side of (rreen river were 
apportioned among the proprietors of Deerfield. 

During Father Rasle's war [une 24, 1724, three men were ambushed and killed upon the farm 
now owned by J. W. Riddell, a half mile northeast of the village common. 1 )uring the few years 
of peace succeeding Father Rasle's war, .settlers took up land with much rapidity, and quite a pop- 
idation was scattered over the rich meadows along the Green river. 

In 1744 England again declared war against France, and but little time elapsed before the woods

EARLY HISTORY-Continucd. 

were filled with lurking savages sent furtli by the French in Canada to devastate the frontier settle- 
ments of New England. For five years farming operations could be carried on in comparative safe- 
ty, only by keeping soldiers on guard while the settlers worked in a body, changing from farm to 
farm. The women and children were congregated in the fortified houses, and were in constant peril 
and alarm. As early as 1739 the people of (ireen river had asked the mother town to let them be 
set off as a District by themselves, and that the Deerfield river be the southern boundary of the 
district. Deerfield refused. Differences as to the support of schools and provision for preaching 
at Green river arose with the mother town, and Deerfield frequently refused what the Green river 
people thought reasonable requests. Again in 1742 Deerfield refused to let the Green river peo- 
ple go, but the settlers persisted in bringing the matter before the town, always insisting that the 
Deerfield river should be the dividing line. At last in January, 1753, Deerfield voted "that the 
town are willing and do consent that they should be set off into a Separate District or Precinct" 
with the 8000 acre line as the south bounds. The Green river people refu.sed to accept this. 
Again they demanded separation. March 5, 1753, the Deerfield record reads, "Green River Peti- 
tion being heard and considered, voted to dismiss the same." The petitioners compelled a new 
town meeting to be held April 2, 1753, when a committee of able men from Southern Hampshire 
was agreed to, who should hear the parties and fi.K the .south line of the new district. The com- 
mittee decided to make the 8000 acre line the south boundary of the new town, but attached .some 
conditions beneficial to Green River. 

June 9, 1753, the Legislature pas.sed a bill organizing the DISTRICT OF GREENFIELD. 
The first town meeting was held July 3, 1753, and a full board of District officers were elected. 

Almo.st the first duty undertaken by the new town was the selection of a minister. New Eng- 
land was then in the midst of the Jonathan Edwards excitement. The Rev. Mr. Ashley, minister 
at Deerfield, was strongly against Mr. Edwards. The men who were to organize the Greenfield 
church were his firm supporters. Rev. Edward Billing, lately the minister of Cold Spring (now

Belchertown), had just lost his parish because, without the consent of his parish he had attended 
and voted to retain Mr. Edwards in the council which had dismissed him. 

Mr. Billing was known to the Greenfield people, as he had kept school in Deerfield and had 
preached at Green river. They determined to ask him to be their minister. When the council 
assembled to pa.ss on his settlement. Parson Ashley appeared with three delegates, while he had 
been invited to bring but one. After two days' session the council dis.solved without transacting 
any business. Another council, more carefully .selected confirmed, Mr. Billing in the pastorate. 

When the eleven members of the Deerfield church applied for letters of dismissal from that 
church recommending them to the new church at Greenfield, Parson Ashley wrote them, " We 
let you know we cannot recommend you or anybody else to that church." 

In 1767 Conway was set off from Deerfield and then it was discovered by Greenfield that there 
had been inserted surreptitiousl}' in the organic act, sentences which deprived Greenfield of the 
enjoyment of one-half of the income from the land sequestered for the use of the church, which 
up to this time Greenfield had enjoyed, according to the report of the committee on the division 
of the town. The citizens of Greenfield arose in arm.s. Deerfield, in pursuance of her claim, and 
by the organic act, proceeded to harvest the crops grown upon the sequestered land, and while 
so doing there appeared a force of men with carts and tools, who after a pitched battle succeeded 
in dispersing the Deerfield men and capturing the harvested crops. But Deerfield had the law 
on her side and Greenfield at the end of a lawsuit had to pay for her trespass. 

For 150 years Greenfield semi-occasionally appeared before the Legislature and besought the law 
makers to grant to her the Cheapside territory which she always claimed as hers by right. But 
not until 1896, when every taxpayer in the disputed territory petitioned for such action, did the 
General Court grant her request. In 1793, that part of Greenfield now Gill was by amicable 
agreement set off from Greenfield as a separate town. 

Greenfield did her full duty in the trying times of the Revolutionary War, .sending a full

company to the front the next day after the Lexington alarm, and later on another company to 
Ticonderoga and the support of the northern army. In 1782 another company wa.s rai.scd to rein- 
force Wa.shington'.s army. 

In 181 1, leading men of Greeniield, aided by men of the northern town.s, succeeded in getting 
the old county of Hampshire, nearly fifty miles square, divided, and (Greenfield made the shire 
town of Franklin County. (Ireat efforts were made to have the county buildings located at Cheap- 
side, then a flourishing hamlet, because of its shipping facilities upon the Connecticut river, 
and considerable excitement was the result. Happily the Legislature condemned the effort and 
Greenfield from this time began a slow but sure growth in importance and population. In 1792 
a weekly newspaper was started in Greenfield, which is still published as the Gazette & Courier, 
and has been of great benefit in the upbuilding of the town. The coming of the railroad in 1S46 
gave a greater impetus to business than anything wiiich had ever before occurred in Greenfield. 



LATER HISTORY. 



Great changes took place in business property along the Main street, new buildings were 
erected, old stores were rebuilt, manufacturing increased and the town fairly jumped to im- 
portance. 

In 1839 Mr. Henry W. Clapp made a proposition to the town to build a town house for the share 
of the "surplus money'" which the general government had recently apportioned to the towns. 

The citizens accepted his offer and he erected the building now known as "Fireman's Hall," 
which served the town until 1854. When the town was first organized, town meetings and all

Other business meetings were held at the taverns. When the meeting-house was finished all pub- 
lic meetings were held there, until the court house was erected in 1813, when the town by the 
payment of $500 secured the right to meet in that building. This arrangement not proving .sat- 
isfactory, the county returned the town's money and for a short time the town meetings were held 
in a hall over the school house in School street. In 1S44, Washington Hall was built ; it being 
called at the time one of the best halls in Western Massachusetts. 

The establishment of the manufactory of John Russell & Co. in 1836, proved of the greatest 
benefit to the growth and prosperity of Greenfield. From a small and struggling industry, it 
grew to be the largest manufactory of cutlery in the world. The removal to town in 1852 of the 
Conway Tool Co. which was soon transformed into the Greenfield Tool Co. was an event of much 
importance to the town. While the concern did not finally prove a financial success, its removal 

to this place brought to the town many citizens who have proved of inestimable value to our in- 
terests. 

No town in the Commonwealth has a richer memory of its conduct during the trying times of 
the great rebellion than Greenfield. It was the headquarters of the county during the war, and 
its patriotic officers saw to it that its example should be one worthy to be followed. Its quota was 
always kept full, and provision was made for the further call of the authorities at all times. The 
authorities were lavish in expending sums necessary for the care of the soldiers' families while 
their bread-winners were facing the enemy. Noble-hearted men of means were ready at all times 
to supplv the funds necessary to sustain the credit of the town. The fine Scotch granite monu- 
ment erected by the citizens of Greenfield upon the village common, evidences the gratitude of 
the citizens of the town to the memory of the men who helped to save the Nation. 

The introduction of a sufficient water supply for fire and culinary purposes, accomplished in 
1870 under the auspices of the town in the name and under the control of Fire District No. i, 
proved to be one of the wisest actions ever taken by our citizens. The income of the system, at

the lowest rates of any town in the Commonwealth, fully supports the works, with its rapidly in- 
creasing extension, and besides that the expense of sustaining a most efficient fire service, and a 
fire alarm system reaching to all parts of the Fire District. The value of the plant and franchise 
is in the vicinity of $300,000. The Fire District has practically no debt. Following the introduc- 
tion of the Glen water came the necessary construction of a sewer service, which serves the needs 
of the village at the present time. 

Greenfield is celebrated for its natural beauty, for its fine elms and other beautiful shade trees, 
for its travelling facilities, for the charm of its society, for its good schools, for its beautiful 
churche.s, its ample and pure water supply, gas and electric lights, exgellent side walks, its good 
drainage, its well-managed hotels and its hospitality, and more than all else for its moral and law- 
abiding men and women, giving the town the best New England citizenship.

IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS 

Our uietliod of doing business lias caused a complete revolution 
in the real estate business in I'ranklin County. First, because 
it is entirely different from methods heretofore cxistinjj; second, 
because it is thoroughly practical and up-to-date; and third, be- 
cause it is wonderfully successful. It is the result of expert 
speciali.sui and the application of modern ideas. Summer homes. 
Country Property and New England Farms; also a few Spring- 
field Properties for sale. Send for our lists.
